The new carbon ceramic braking system comes with 440mm diameter front discs combined with new ten-piston front calipers, making it the largest braking system on any car in the world. The ceramic brakes also save around 33 kg compared to the iron braking system.

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) enables more freedom in driving by providing stability over uneven surfaces. When in Dynamic mode, the system allows altering the cornering stance of the car according to the driver's discretion.

The agility and stability of the vehicle are further enhanced by the new all-wheel steering and electronic rear differential. At low and medium speeds, the GT Speed's rear wheels are steered in the opposite direction to the front wheels to help in rapid change of direction. At high speeds, the rear wheels steer in the same direction as the front, to improve stability.

The Bentley Continental GT Speed grand tourer can sprint from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds and an attain a top speed of 335 kmph.
